Monday: Mixing It Up: Mom, Men, and Babies

I didn't really do a lot exciting this weekend because I worked but....I had talked on Friday about Beerita's and I did have ~~one~~ three of these this weekend. I am actually getting pretty good at making these at home.

I also pulled out one of my hand painted wine glasses just for fun while watching the Rangers game on Sunday.

I found the coolest app on my iphone. It turns regular photos into any type art you want to make it. It's called ToonCamera and I think it was 99 cents.

There are several options from painting and pen and ink to charcoal and pastels.

My babies actually cooperate in letting me get photos of them for Mother's day so I took Sadie and Ries

And first made them into paintings

Then pen and ink.

I can do this myself but drawing these out, while much more fun, is very time consuming and I have to dig my sketchbooks out of the closet and find my pastels and pens and buy ink....well you can see how hitting a button right now is a tad more appealing. (Although I really need to get that stuff out because it is way more fun doing it myself!)

Can't forget Mom on Mother's Day. She and I go to a lot of baseball games together so for MD I got her a card and tickets to a couple of games.

I love you....and I can't live without you!

I actually get to work this weekend but I still adore Friday! Mostly because I have fun plans and they all start today!!

I'm blog stuck right now so I thought I would try a Friday Five

So without giving this too much actual thought I chose 5 things I love and can't live without.

*Hummus!

I am totally addicted to this stuff! On veggies, on pita chips, on sandwiches, and in Hummus flavored chips. Ah, the magic of Chickpeas and tahini!

I don't know what happened. One night I came home and nothing was on but old episodes of Charmed and suddenly I have a DVR full of Charmed! Judge me if you must!

Rose quartz. If you know me at all, you know pink is not my color. I don't wear it and I don't surround myself with it. The exception is Rose Quartz. Since I started wearing it, I have felt so much better about love and loving me. I am sure all the prayers have helped a lot too. Rose quartz is supposed to help you heal a broken heart, invite love into your life, and love, including loving yourself. I don't know about all of that but I do know that I have found myself....and I finally like what I see so my rose quartz is staying.

Maple anything although I rarely eat donuts or pancakes. I am slightly obsessed with maple!

Beeritas. This has become my drink of choice! Love them plus it's like getting the best of all worlds!

Alright this was all stuff I really love but seriously what I can't live without: my family, my friends, my baseball team, my bike, and the most important, my faith in God.
